Many wealthy citizens were able to pay for this honor during the period when the
church was in desperate need of money. This ego-tripping eventually cluttered
the church's interior, somewhat diminishing its beauty.

Many graves are under the floor. To move about, it is necessary and okay for visitors to walk over
them, with one exception: The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Architectural
inconsistency

The two main entrances of Westminster Abbey (see photo) have decidedly different
architectural treatments.

Verger Tour

I strongly recommend that you take the Verger Tour inside Westminster Abbey. The
Verger guides are knowledgeable and take you to areas that are off-limits to the
general public. This includes the magnificent St. Edward's Chapel.
